Does anyone know how how months are counted for kit enhancement purposes? I signed up in July, with August as my SS Month 1... then I switched my Month 1 to September. Now I'm wondering if my 4th month is this month (which is the first after my SS period), or if it was actually last month (which was technically my 4th full month).

Thanks in advance-- I have learned soooo much from this website!
 
Your Kit Enhancement month is your 4th official month in business. So, if you were able to change SS1 to September, December is your 4th month. Also, every April all consultants have a Kit Enhancement month.
 
What about if you were inactive for a while. I never had an office SS month because I didn't have any sales at all after getting my kit. I got my kit in April and then didn't have sales till November. I ruined my chances on Everything. Think I'll have to wait till April?

You've got email ;D
 
Your official first month is the one that the HO has set as your SS1, no matter if you did or did not have any sales. So, you have to wait until April. Sorry!
